CROSS-REFERENCE(S) TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a Divisional Application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/205,311, filed Nov. 30, 2018, which claims priority to Korean Patent Application No(s). 10-2018-0085912, filed on Jul. 24, 2018, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND Field of the Disclosure

The present disclosure relates to a water-cooling type battery cooling system and a cooling method using the same, and more particularly, to a water-cooling type battery cooling system for cooling a battery using an air conditioner system, which includes a refrigerant circuit for improving control of cooling discharge temperature, and a cooling method using the same.

Description of Related Art

Generally, a water-cooling type battery cooling system for cooling a battery using an air conditioner system has a configuration in which a refrigerant circuit of an air conditioner system is connected to a chiller. FIG. 1 illustrates an air conditioner system in which a conventional water-cooling type battery cooling system is provided, according to the related art, and FIG. 2 illustrates the conventional water-cooling type battery cooling system according to the related art.

In particular, the system shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 show insufficient space in an engine compartment and deterioration of the assembly ability caused by an increase of electrical parts due to the complex refrigerant circuit branch structure. Additionally, cost, weight and the like are increased in such systems. When a refrigerant of the air conditioner system is supplied to a chiller for cooling a battery during operation of the air conditioner for cooling a vehicle indoor space, an indoor vent discharge temperature increases due to deterioration of the flow amount distribution of the refrigerant, thereby deteriorating the comfort. Therefore, it may be difficult to control a cooling discharge temperature thus leading to deterioration of indoor space cooling performance.

SUMMARY

The present disclosure optimizes an internal space in an engine compartment by integrating a refrigerant circuit of an air conditioner system for cooling an indoor space and a refrigerant circuit for a chiller which is branched from the refrigerant circuit of the air conditioner system and further connected for cooling the battery. In addition, an object of the present disclosure is to prevent sudden change in a flow amount distribution of a refrigerant, when a battery is cooled.

In order to achieve the above objects, a water-cooling type battery cooling system according to the present disclosure may include a compressor into which a refrigerant in an evaporator may flow through a suction pipe directly connected to the compressor, a chiller configured to cool a battery and a thermostatic expansion valve for the chiller may be mounted on a certain longitudinal portion of the suction pipe to allow an internal refrigerant of the suction pipe discharged from the evaporator to pass sequentially through the thermostatic expansion valve for the chiller and the chiller and to subsequently flow into the compressor along the suction pipe, and the refrigerant discharged from the condenser may flow in a liquid pipe having a first end connected to the condenser and a second end connected to the suction pipe between the thermostatic expansion valve for the chiller and the evaporator.

The chiller may include a chiller suction inlet port into which the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe may flow, a chiller liquid inlet port into which an internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe may flow, and a refrigerant outlet port through which an internal refrigerant of the chiller entered through the chiller suction inlet port and the chiller liquid inlet port may be discharged. The chiller suction inlet port and the refrigerant outlet port may be coaxially formed to each other. The thermostatic expansion valve for the chiller may include a valve suction inlet port into which the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe may flow, and a valve liquid inlet port into which the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe may flow. In particular, the valve suction inlet port may be in communication with the chiller suction inlet port, and the valve liquid inlet port may be in communication with the chiller liquid inlet port.

The liquid pipe may be in communication with the valve liquid inlet port at a certain longitudinal portion thereof. The thermostatic expansion valve for the chiller may include a solenoid valve mounted therein and configured to open or close the valve liquid inlet port. The solenoid valve may have an orifice aperture formed therein. The solenoid valve may be changed to an opened state when a turn-on signal is transmitted to the chiller and may be changed to a closed state when the turn-off signal is transmitted to the chiller. When the turn-off signal is transmitted to the chiller, the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe may flow towards the suction pipe connected to the second end of the liquid pipe.

As the solenoid valve is opened when the turn-on signal is transmitted to the chiller, the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe may be divided, and some of the divided refrigerant may flow towards the valve liquid inlet port and flow into the chiller. When the turn-on signal is transmitted to the chiller, the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe flowing into the chiller may be circulated in the chiller and heat-exchanged to cool coolant for a battery in the chiller. The chiller may include a partition installed therein to close a space between the chiller suction inlet port and the refrigerant outlet port.

The internal refrigerant of the suction pipe flowing into the chiller via the chiller suction inlet port may be circulated in the chiller and heat-exchanged to cool coolant for a battery in the chiller. The chiller may include a coolant inlet port and a coolant outlet port formed therein. When the turn-on signal is transmitted to the chiller, coolant for a battery may flow into the coolant inlet port and may be discharged from the coolant outlet port.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a cooling method using the water-cooling type battery cooling system according to the present disclosure may include transmitting a turn-on signal to a chiller for cooling a battery; opening a valve liquid inlet port by operation of a solenoid valve mounted in a thermostatic expansion valve for the chiller; dividing an internal refrigerant of a liquid pipe to allow some of divided refrigerant to be directed towards the valve liquid inlet port and to flow into the chiller; circulating the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe flowing into the chiller to be heat-exchanged and to cool coolant for the battery in the chiller; and discharging the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe, which has cooled coolant for the battery in the chiller, via a refrigerant discharge port.

Prior to transmitting the turn-on signal to the chiller and up to the discharging of the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe to the outside of the chiller via the refrigerant outlet port, the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe, which passes sequentially through the chiller suction inlet port and the refrigerant outlet port, may flow into the chiller. Additionally, prior to transmitting the turn-on signal to the chiller, the valve liquid inlet port may be in a closed state by the solenoid valve.

Prior to opening the valve liquid inlet port, the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe discharged from a condenser may flow towards the suction pipe connected to the second end of the liquid pipe. In discharging of the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe to the outside of the chiller via the refrigerant outlet port, the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe may be coalesced with the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe in the chiller and may be then discharged to the outside of the chiller. The internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe discharged to the outside of the chiller may flow into a compressor.

According to the present disclosure, by integrating the refrigerant circuit of the air conditioner system and the refrigerant circuit for the chiller, the structure may be simplified compared to the existing system, and thus the internal space of the engine compartment may be optimized. Further, the cost and weight may be reduced and the assembly ability may be improved. In addition, it may be possible to solve the problem caused by a sudden change in the flow amount distribution of the refrigerant, which has been a problem in cooling the battery in the conventional air conditioner system, thereby improving the indoor comfort and satisfaction by securing a stability of the indoor vent discharge temperature control.

The present exemplary embodiments are provided to enable those ordinary skilled in the art to more fully understand the present disclosure. Therefore, shapes and the like of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated in order to emphasize clearer explanation. It should be noted that the same elements in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numeral. Detailed descriptions on well-known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present disclosure will be omitted.

The present disclosure relates to a water-cooling type battery cooling system and a cooling method using the same, and more particularly, to a cooling system, in which a refrigerant circuit for enhancing cooling and discharge temperature control is provided, in a water-cooling battery cooling system for cooling a battery using an air conditioner system, and a cooling method using the same.

In FIG. 3 , an air conditioner system in which a water-cooling type battery cooling system according to the present disclosure is provided is illustrated. The water-cooling type battery cooling system of the present disclosure for cooling coolant using a refrigerant of an air conditioner system may include an evaporator 2, a compressor 4 and a condenser 6 having a refrigerant circuit of the air conditioner system to cool a vehicle indoor space and a refrigerant circuit for a chiller to cool a battery, which are integrally formed with each other.

The water-cooling type battery cooling system may further include a liquid pipe 26 together with a chiller 10 to which a suction pipe 8 separated from a battery coolant line may be connected. In particular, a refrigerant of the air conditioner system may flow from the evaporator 2 to the compressor through the suction pipe. A refrigerant discharged from the condenser 6 may flow in the liquid pipe 26, and this refrigerant may be discharged from the condenser 6 and flow in the liquid pipe 26, and the liquid pipe 26 may divide the flow amount of refrigerant into the flow amount of refrigerant entering the compressor 4 via the chiller 10 and the flow amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator 2 without passing through the chiller 10.

Specifically, in the water-cooling type battery cooling system of the present disclosure, the evaporator 2 and the compressor 4 may be connected to each other via the suction pipe 8 directly connected thereto, and an internal refrigerant of the evaporator 2 may flow into the compressor 4 through the suction pipe 8. The chiller 10 for cooling a battery and a thermostatic expansion valve 24 for the chiller may be mounted on a particular longitudinal portion of the suction pipe 8. The suction piping 8 may be in communication with the chiller 10 and the thermostatic expansion valve 24 for the chiller. An internal refrigerant of the suction pipe 8 discharged from the evaporator 2 may pass through sequentially the thermostatic expansion valve 24 for the chiller and the chiller 10, and subsequently may flow into the compressor 4 along the suction pipe 8.

A first end of the liquid pipe 26 may be connected to the condenser 6 and a second end of the liquid pipe 26 may be connected to the suction pipe 8. A location where the liquid pipe 26 is connected to the suction 8 may be between the thermostatic expansion valve 24 for the chiller and the evaporator 2. The refrigerant discharged from the condenser 6 may flow along the liquid pipe 26 and flow into the suction pipe 8. An internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 flowing into the suction pipe 8 may be coalesced with the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe 8.

The chiller 10 for cooling the battery may include a chiller suction inlet port 12 into which the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe 8 may flow, a chiller liquid inlet port 14 into which the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 may flow, and a refrigerant outlet port 16 through which an internal refrigerant of the chiller 10 entered through the chiller suction inlet port 12 and the chiller liquid inlet port 14 may be discharged. The chiller suction inlet port 12 and the refrigerant outlet out 16 may be coaxially formed with each other, and the refrigerant outlet port 16 may be connected to the suction pipe 8 that extends toward the compressor 4.

In addition, a coolant inlet port 20 and a coolant outlet port 22 may be formed in the chiller 10. Particularly, when a turn-on signal is transmitted to the chiller 10, coolant for cooling the battery may flow into the coolant inlet port 20 and may be discharged from the coolant outlet port 22. The thermal expansion valve 24 for the chiller may include a valve suction inlet port (not shown) into which the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe 8 may flow and a valve liquid inlet port (not shown) into which the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 may flow. The valve suction inlet port may be in communication with and coaxially formed with the chiller suction inlet port 12, and the valve liquid inlet port may be in communication with and coaxially formed with the chiller liquid inlet port 14.

The valve suction inlet port may be connected to the suction pipe 8 that extends from the evaporator 2. The liquid pipe 26 may be formed to be in communication with the valve liquid inlet port at a particular longitudinal portion thereof. A solenoid valve 28 may provide communication between the liquid pipe 26 and the valve liquid inlet port. In particular, the solenoid valve 28 may be mounted in the thermostatic expansion valve 24 for the chiller, and the valve liquid inlet port may be opened or closed by operation of the solenoid valve 28 to control a communication between the liquid pipe 26 and the valve liquid inlet port. The solenoid valve 28 in which an orifice aperture is formed may be changed to an opened state when the turn-on signal is transmitted to the chiller 10, and may be changed to a closed state when a turn-off signal is transmitted to the chiller 10.

FIG. 5 is a view illustrating a refrigerant circulating configuration in a refrigerant circuit for the chiller when the chiller is turned-off, and FIG. 6 illustrates a conceptual view of an entire system illustrated in FIG. 5 . When the turn-off signal is transmitted to the chiller 10, the solenoid valve 28 may be maintained in a closed state, and thus, the liquid pipe 26 is not in communication with the valve liquid inlet port. Accordingly, the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 is not divided and does not flow into the valve liquid inlet port side, and thus may flow towards the suction pipe 8 connected to the second end of the liquid pipe 26. At this time, a double pipe structure of the suction pipe 8 allows the refrigerant discharged from the liquid pipe 26 to flow towards the evaporator 2 without being mixed with the flow of refrigerant flowing from the evaporator 2 to the compressor 4.

FIG. 7 is a view illustrating the refrigerant circulating configuration in the refrigerant circuit for the chiller when the chiller is turned-on, and FIG. 8 is a conceptual view of an entire system illustrated in FIG. 7 . As the solenoid valve 28 is opened when the turn-on signal is transmitted to the chiller 10, the liquid pipe 26 is in communication with the valve liquid inlet port. Accordingly, the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 may be divided, a first portion of divided refrigerant may flow into the chiller 10 via the valve liquid inlet port and the chiller liquid inlet port 14, and a second portion of divided refrigerant may flow towards the suction pipe 8 connected to the second end of the liquid pipe 26.

FIG. 9 shows a structural view of the chiller of the present disclosure, and FIG. 10 shows the chiller according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure and is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 9 . When the chiller 10 of the present disclosure has a cross section as illustrated in FIG. 10 , the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe 8 flowing into the chiller 10 through the chiller suction inlet port 12 is not circulated in the chiller 10, but may be discharged into the suction pipe 8, connected to the compressor 4, through the refrigerant outlet port 16. At this time, when the turn-on signal is transmitted to the chiller 10, the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 flowing into the chiller 10 through the chiller liquid inlet port 14 may be circulated in the chiller 10 and heat-exchanged to cool coolant for the battery in the chiller 10.

FIG. 11 shows the chiller according to a second exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure and is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 9 . When a partition 18 that closes a space between the chiller suction inlet port 12 and the refrigerant outlet port 16 is provided in the chiller 10 of the present disclosure as illustrated in FIG. 11 , the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe 8 flowing into the chiller 10 through the chiller suction inlet port 12 is not directly discharged through the refrigerant outlet port 16, but may be circulated in the chiller 10 and heat-exchanged to cool coolant for the battery in the chiller 10. When the turn-on signal is transmitted to the chiller 10, the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 flowing into the chiller 10 through the chiller liquid inlet port 14 may be coalesced with the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe 8 in the chiller 10, and may be circulated in the chiller 10 and heat-exchanged to cool coolant for the battery in the chiller 10.

The cooling method using the water-cooling type battery cooling system of the present disclosure configured as described above disclosure may include transmitting a turn-on signal to the chiller 10 for cooling the battery; operating the solenoid valve 28 mounted in the thermostatic expansion valve 24 for the chiller to open the valve liquid inlet port; dividing the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 to allow a first portion of divided refrigerant to be directed towards the valve liquid inlet port and to flow into the chiller; circulating the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 flowing into the chiller 20 to be heat-exchanged and to cool coolant for the battery in the chiller 10; and discharging the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26, which has cooled coolant for the battery in the chiller 10, via the refrigerant discharge port 16.

Before the turn-on signal is transmitted to the chiller 10, the valve liquid inlet port may be maintained in a closed state by the solenoid valve 28, and the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 discharged from the condenser 6 may flow towards the suction pipe 8 connected to the second end of the liquid pipe 26. When the turn-on signal is transmitted to the chiller 10 to cool the battery, the solenoid valve 28 may be operated to allow the valve liquid inlet port to be in communication with the liquid pipe 26.

As the valve liquid inlet port becomes in communication with the liquid pipe 26, the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 may be divided, and thus, some of the divided refrigerant may flow towards the valve liquid inlet port and into the chiller 10, and some other refrigerant may flow towards the suction pipe 8. The internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 flowing into the chiller 10 may be circulated in the chiller 10 and heat-exchanged to cool coolant for cooling the battery in the chiller 10. This refrigerant may then be discharged to the outside of the chiller 10 via the refrigerant outlet port 16.

From before the transmitting of the turn-on signal to the chiller 10 and up to the discharging of the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 to the outside of the chiller 10 via the refrigerant outlet port 16, the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe 8, which passes sequentially through the chiller suction inlet port 12 and the refrigerant outlet port 16, may flow into the chiller 10. In the discharging of the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 to the outside of the chiller 10 via the refrigerant outlet port 16, the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 may be coalesced with the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe 8 in the chiller 10 and then may be discharged to the outside of the chiller 10, and the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 discharged to the outside of the chiller 10 may flow into the compressor 4.

Since the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe 8 always passes through the inside of the chiller 10 regardless whether the chiller 10 is turned-on or turned-off, when the battery cooling condition is in a mild state, it may be possible to cool the battery using the internal refrigerant of the suction pipe 8 without dividing the internal refrigerant of the liquid pipe 26 and flowing into the chiller 10. Therefore, it may be possible to prevent a problem in which indoor space cooling performance is deteriorated due to a sudden change in the flow amount distribution of the refrigerant, which has been a problem in the air conditioner system in which the internal refrigerant of the existing liquid pipe is divided to cool the battery.

In addition, by integrally forming the refrigerant circuit of the existing air conditioner system for cooling the vehicle indoor space cooling with the refrigerant circuit for the chiller, which has been branched from the refrigerant circuit of the air conditioner system and further connected for cooling the battery, the structure of the system may be simplified to optimize the inner space of an engine compartment, thereby reducing the cost and weight, and improving the ability to be assembled.
